You tryna be tricky? That email doesn't look right.

In case you’re ever having trouble in the bedroom, or you’re just looking to spice things up, these foods function as an aphrodisiac and replace the need for Viagra – which, hopefully, you won’t have to use for a while. Add these in during dinner, and it’ll make sure that things stay interesting if you finish dessert and you’re still craving something sweet..

We also don’t blame you if you just want to eat these foods just for the hell of it, because quite often, food is just far better than sex.

1. Celery

Celery may taste like water and be awfully stringy, but it contains arginine, which expands blood vessels in a similar way that Viagra does. It also contains two steroids that help improve our body odor, making us more appealing to others. Chop up a few stalks and dip it in this hummus.

4. Paprika

This spice increases blood flow and circulation, making it easier for you when the time comes. Add a few teaspoons to make any regular dish extraordinary, and it just may follow through a few hours later.

5. Garlic

Garlic may not make your breath smell nice, but it’ll definitely give you a helping hand if you’re having trouble. The allicin increases your libido, keeping things interesting when it needs to be. Just hope your breath won’t be a problem.

7. Ginger

The ginger root is a feisty root, and it’s definitely the same way when it comes to using it as an aphrodisiac. Toss some in your evening tea to get the blood churning down there.

8. Bananas

I mean, they’re already pretty phallic, so it only makes sense. Bananas contain bromelain, which helps the production of testosterone, keeping your sexual drive up and aware. There are more ways to eat ’em than just straight from the peel.
